Note from Susan Beck:

I am researching the Parsell family and
have several in York Street Cemetery. I have photos of 4 stones that
you do not have. Do you want me to send them to you? They are Peter
Parsell, Martha Parsell, Ralph&Lottie Parsell and Dale&Marjorie
Parsell. I have a digital camera and will be going back in the next
couple of weeks. I would love to help you with this project. I live
in Bucyrus. It is about an hour drive to the cemetery. I will be
taking photos of most of the Parsells, VanOrsdalls, Pisels. These
are in my family line (Susan has since sent me 68 photos so far)

info from Anne Mae Huntley:

The York Street Cemetery is partly located in Jackson Twp. and
partly in Marseilles Twp. Thus it has two caretakers and it is not
uncommon to see one part newly groomed and the other part in need of attention.

info from Loren Musgrave:

There was a church on SR 294 named YORK STREET. The building is now
occupied as a dwelling as the congregation merged with another and
built a new church building.

I'm attaching a photo of me standing at the gravesite of
my great grandfather JohnParsell.All
the Parsells in York Street and Jackson Center Cemeteries are descended
from Peterand Martha Vanderbeek Selover Parsell
who are buried at York Street. They came to Ohioin
1844 from Cayuga County, NY along with several other families.These
families had been members of the Dutch Reformed Church and many were of
Dutchdescent. But, after 200 years in this
country, few of them spoke any Dutch and theirties
with Holland consisted mainly of certain values and attitudes. The Dutch
broughtsleds and ice skates to America. They also
had a kindly and helpful acceptance of otherpeoples.-Julie
